Former Harry Potter star Jessie Cave, best known for her role as Lavender Brown, is casting a new kind of spell. The 37-year-old actress has launched an OnlyFans account, where she plans to share "sensual" videos featuring her hair. Though the platform is often associated with adult content, Cave clarified her account is not "sexual" and focuses on a unique fetish experience.
"I’m launching an OnlyFans, it’s not a sexual one. It’s a fetish. Fetish doesn’t necessarily mean sexual," Cave explained on her podcast Before We Break Up Again. She intends to engage with the platform for a year to alleviate debt and refurbish her home, which includes covering arsenic-laced wallpaper and building a new roof.
“My aim? To empower myself? To prove to those in the past who have misjudged me that I’m not so sweet? To put time into something I never invested in before: self-love.”
In a heartfelt post on her Substack, Cave shared her motivations for joining the platform. She spoke candidly about her financial needs and aspirations for personal growth. The venture is as much about self-empowerment as it is about financial independence, shaking off the "good little actress" image she feels bound by.
Cave's move is part of a broader trend of celebrities turning to OnlyFans for additional income. Last year, singer Lily Allen disclosed she earns more from foot photos on OnlyFans than from her Spotify streams, emphasizing the alternative revenue streams available to artists today.
OnlyFans continues to attract a diverse array of celebrities. Alongside Jessie Cave, stars like Iggy Azalea, Tana Mongeau, and Tyga have also found the platform lucrative. While some use it for more traditional adult content, others, like John Cena, have used it creatively for promotional stunts. Cena, for instance, utilized suggestive captions to pique interest and promote his comedy film.
Cave's venture into OnlyFans may be unconventional, but it highlights the platform's flexibility and potential as a tool for celebrities looking to expand their income and redefine their public personas.
